This may look like an average picture book on the outside, but open it up and you'll find a book within a book within a book within a book within a book! As you open the cover of each book, you find a smaller book inside, until you get to the teeniest, tiniest book in the middle.

Each book is being read by a different creature: a ladybug, a frog, a rabbit, and bear and a giant. But the ultimate reader is the child, who is encouraged at the end to go out and read even more books. You can tell your young reader that this is one book that's actually seven books! Then sit back and watch them explore this neat concept.

While it's too small for story time, this is a great tribute to the joys of books and reading. I will also add that showing it to someone would be a great help in explaining how [b:Cloud Atlas|49628|Cloud Atlas|David Mitchell|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1344305390s/49628.jpg|1871423] works.

File this one under "so good I actually cried tears of jealousy that I hadn't written it."

Not only a masterpiece of meta-fiction for those of us who are simply book people, it's also a great jumping off place for kids to make up their own stories about the many animal characters, each reading their own book. My 2 year old was entranced, turning each page, smaller and smaller, and then inspecting the animals in the library on the last page. We read it three times, right in a row. And bonus, the author dedicates it (in part) to Levar Burton. READING RAINBOW SHOUTOUT Y'ALL.

Is it too early to call this one a Caldecott contender?

Mentioned in Megan Dowd Lambert's Whole Book Approach webinar

It's a book within a book within a book within a book....
There's not much in the way of plot or character, but the format is delightfully inventive!

A super cute concept book playing with size and color in a unique way. The book is a traditional size book but as you open and read it gets smaller and smaller till you're reading a tiny book.
